Wye Oak

The droll tone and fleeting sweetness of a Yo La Tengo are cut into the more deeply textural concerns of shoegaze in the Baltimore group's work. It's an interesting alignment, given the contrast in senses of humor. But Wye Oak successfully shed tonnage from the latter without losing potency. Wye Oak (formerly known as Monarch) are Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack. Jenn & Andy have been playing music together and apart in Baltimore, MD, and chose their name from the honorary state tree of Maryland.

INOUWEE

Inouwee are full of secrets and atmospheres from the city and nature. They get inspired by how it affects our dreams and our thoughts on love, life and especially death. The music is effortless and epic; it moves from heavy beats to dreamy and melancholy passages, and along with the gloomy and personal lyrics it makes the listener enter the universe of Inouwee with ease. By the first note you get invited inside.
